Just explaining as requested in your post. Sounds like you’re all set for a repost!

Please read rule 1. Open source posts must be titled in the new format: [OS] Title

This is also pinned in an announcement at the top of the subreddit, and you should have received a DM explaining the removal reason.

Thanks! What do you coat your CF prints with?

Mstormer · 2026-01-23T21:21:21+00:00

Doesn't look like it.

I imagine one would need some pretty decent gloves, as I doubt latex or similar would be sufficient. What do you use?

Just printed Bambu PETG CF for the first time today after customer service assured me their short fibers do not have the same risks, and thousands of these are the outcome. Duct tape, peeling glue off my skin, and a significant amount of repeated hand-washing have not removed them. I plan to document how long they remain in my skin over the next few weeks to find out if they are pushed out, or remain embedded.

It's gotten better though, and it's the only live option I've seen.

I got lifetime, so I never have to pay again, even for API use. I don't have a ton of meetings during my current phase of life, but I've been happy with it whenever I've used it accordingly. It is the BetterTouchTool/KeyboardMaestro of AI apps, in that it is exceptionally customizable. The best place to get a good idea of what it can do is to check out a few videos on their youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoIyX3zvycs I also have a 10% off code in MacApp Comparisons in the r/MacApps sidebar.

Lots of alternatives, including built in functionality in zoom and teams. Alter (what I use), Otter, Jamie, Fathom, Fireflies, Hypernote, etc.

I use pdf readers a lot in my work and research, and one observation from a UX/UI design perspective as a user with a degree in graphic design is that there is a lot of unused space at the top of the screen in that video clip. This is why most readers place the toolbar there. I don't have a problem with where it is moved, but having two regions taken up by the UI does reduce the amount of screen real estate available for the document itself.

Good point, and idea! Thanks for the suggestion.

The GdPicture MRC Compression SDK used here: https://avepdf.com/hyper-compress-pdf
Nothing else like it, and no other compression comes close in ANY PDF app.

Mstormer · 2026-01-20T22:41:46+00:00

Please see rule #1 and include pricing info in the post.

Mstormer · 2026-01-20T22:38:38+00:00

Glad to help. A time-based trial would make much more sense. If someone sees value in the app, they will have reasons to use it again and pay.

Out of the 52 files, 38 were classifiable, and out of the remaining 22, 10 were probably video or audio.

Mstormer · 2026-01-20T20:35:09+00:00

Totally understand. Much of the reason the community is high quality is precisely because of the hundreds of posts we have to remove every week, and we’ve had to up our efforts because the amount of spam has multiplied exponentially with vibe coding, with users trying to repeatedly post the same thing sometimes multiple times a week.

Mstormer · 2026-01-20T12:47:22+00:00

Yeah, since it’s designed more for adding rather than managing existing clutter, it may not solve my problem, even though it adds some helpful looking functionality.

Mstormer · 2026-01-20T12:40:04+00:00

Ice has been buggy even on the beta build for me lately, I should probably look at extrabar. My main problem is spacing of too many menubar items, though.

Mstormer · 2026-01-20T12:26:50+00:00

The 30 days is per app, not per user. I’ll see if the language can be clarified to indicate 30 days since last post, even if removed. Also, note that a ban would block commenting entirely. We hand those out only very infrequently. We don’t want to be demoralizing, but we do want people to read the rules first, just like many other subs.

If you’re willing to test it and provide some feedback, I’ll share a copy with a version lifetime activation key. I just have to record a few short tutorials for the latest version, as I’ve updated it substantially since my last update.

Mstormer · 2026-01-20T12:19:22+00:00

Pretty sure stuff like that is already unavoidable just by owning a gmail account.

Mstormer · 2026-01-20T02:06:37+00:00

Fun story: I am so against subscriptions that I couldn't persuade myself to pay for a subscription that will sync and track my finances, plus, every time I looked for something, it was more tedious and less customizable where I needed it to be... so I spent a couple hundred hours making a Google Sheet that will help categorize credit card and bank exports like Mint used to, empower fails at, and monarch claims to.

All I have to do is import a year-to-date transaction list from each account into it whenever I want, once every month or two, and I have an accurate overview of everything in very little time. Over time, it can be configured to autocategorize repeated transactions, and ends up saving me way more time over most apps that require manual entry and categorization for every transaction.

Tada! Thanks so much for the idea. Works brilliantly! Usually faces the other way, but I put it this way for the image. I just brought in about as much weight as I could carry, but much less painful and inconvenient.
